Collaborative Decision-Making:

Many geriatrician practices can provide recommendations for reputable home care agencies that have a proven track record of successfully supporting their patients. We firmly believe that the most effective care plan is one developed collaboratively. While our physical abilities may evolve with age, the importance of our voices being heard remains constant. Home health care is most impactful when a client is receptive to the experience, and this is best achieved through inclusive family discussions and shared decision-making regarding home care arrangements.

Practical Preparations for Home Care:

While our services are adaptable to meet diverse client needs, a small degree of preparation can significantly enhance the initial experience.

Develop a "Wishlist": We encourage families to identify daily barriers that impede their loved one's ideal life, pinpoint their most cherished values, and articulate any concerns regarding independent living. These goals, tasks, and concerns should be openly discussed with our agency to ensure our care plan precisely addresses these needs.
